2014 was finally ushered in at the stroke of midnight amid much celebration, laughter, hugs, jumping, screaming and even singing in Christian Church International Thika. The congregation, mainly made up of young people, could total to about 1,500. That was how some of us ushered in the year, with a note of joy and much expectation in the year 2014, in our case, the "Year of Advancing". About 6 youths gave their lives to Christ just before midnight.Everyone joined in making powerful declarations an hour later, after a short sermon and invitation to walk with Jesus in 2014 given by Bishop Mulandi. With a big roar, the congregation read from the wall projection each of the 15 declarations with others thumping their chests, to suggest they meant each word that they said.Maybe your story is not of jubilation in the new year for various reasons, but God is the author of time. This is yet another season when He walks with us again from January and we pray till the last day in December. The way ahead maybe foggy and unclear but this God we are serving is Mighty. He is a mighty God. He will get you where you ought to get, when you ought to, He is dependable. Only play your part, to make a decision every day to walk with Him.

The ACMI family prays for your advancement this year; financially, socially, economically, in education, family and all other aspects, as per your desires. May the Lord bless you and keep you, may He shine his face upon you, and be gracious to you. May He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.
